Show of the Weekend: Days Gone and Luke's Talkative Survival Tactics

[@outsidextra]

Happy Weekend! Luke hears all about Days Gone from Ellen, only to be quizzed on it immediately after like he's at school or something. 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

[@Sableagle]

I'd want Princess Leia (at Return of the Jedi level) on my side in the zombie apocalypse. Anyone who can use the Force to AoE buff an entire tribe of kids in fursuits up to Empire-crushing levels can save us the trouble of getting out of town. Feeding the Tank and a bunch of Jockeys to the Sarlacc would be tempting, but I'd still rather have Leia on my side than a Sarlacc in the back forty.

[@thanksfernuthin]

I don't know about that Luke guy. Sure he talks a good game. But have you seen him trying to sit down?!! It's a nightmare!!!

[@RaydeusMX]

It sounds like Days Gone is what State of Decay 2 should have been.

[@jarooe9658]

Is it meta if they say zombie

[@e.d.5766]

Luke: Why did you steal our eggs, Andy? Andy: They were only spiritual eggs, they were within us all along! Well... within me! Mwahahahaha!

[@Icam_here]

How could Mike steal eggs, and not so long after stealing food from the fridge, its a good thing we have Andy here to set the record straight

[@roguedogx]

Side note- I thought they were both killed after last week's episode. How many clones are running around that place?

[@thephantom7121]

roguedogx millions maybe even billions

[@roguedogx]

@@thephantom7121 I foresee no possible issues!

[@shannonolivas9524]

Like the old saying goes "Don't put all your eggs in one high tech, waterproof security case".

[@marhawkman303]

yeah, it's like advertising their location. gotta hide them some place no one would ever think to look. Maybe under Dob's costume?

[@scorpix96]

@@marhawkman303 I mean they _would_ end up in the lake, but at least they won't be stolen...

[@mar_speedman]

Maybe in an Easter Egg basket... What? Andy would never look somewhere so obvious! Wait, I mean Mike.

[@LJay_1985]

Ah, the laser pointer. Captures the undivided attention of cats and Ellen alike.

[@TransDragonBear]

Thats cause Ellen is a cat

[@jacksonangley8163]

Same

[@gamehunter88]

I suddenly want to name my cat Ellen. Now just to get a cat

[@andoryuubushido7191]

Ellen has that same effect on me ^_^

[@TheDiplomancer]

Your post presumes that Ellen is not a cat

[@dallydaydream]

Yeah, couldn't have been Andy. I hear his legal name is Andy Definitely-Not-An-Egg-Thief Farrant. A middle name that on-the-nose couldn't belong to someone suspicious.

[@Lordduck2000]

i thought his middle name was "im impartial"

[@dallydaydream]

@@Lordduck2000 Excellent point! Truly he is a man of many names

[@pbkoenigsegg]

So Luke's zombie defence skill is to be Dr Who?

[@alexixeno4223]

Yes, yes this is correct.... OH gawd! Luke is the Dr! @@

[@GhengisJohn]

That laser pointer bit was both funny and adorable. I can't believe that not even the scary face that you put on the box stopped Andy. I mean Mike. The cad!

[@thebaconpig8680]

With the lust for murder and playing with the laser like a cat I think Ellen is becoming more and more Merylwen! Watch out for meatgrinders everyone!

[@lutakip.librax4162]

Is this Ellen's way of method acting then?

[@mar_speedman]

Luke: Clearly the one Star Wars character to be in a zombie apocalypse would be... Me: Obi-wan Luke: General Grievous Me: So uncivilized! >:(

[@brocksisson7128]

Great open. Does it say more about Andy's thievery skill, his inability to hide his crimes or just how quickly everyone accepts that Mike is guilty.

[@gamehunter88]

Or Ellen and Luke's innocence and naivety

[@LateSleeper]

Yes.

[@mar_speedman]

You people are so hilarious. It's neither Andy nor Mike! It's all an elaborate ploy by, you guessed it, Corazon de Bayena!

[@thephantom7121]

Mar Speedsman wha- but how! CORAZON

[@futoijosei]

It couldn't be Andy, Mike signed the note.

[@gruggerduggerhoose]

I’ve been watching this channel since it was launched and honestly one of my favourite things is how you guys are constantly on the verge of cracking up at all times. Always puts a smile on my face. Keep it up my dudes.

[@gruggerduggerhoose]

Also the “oh no wheres my leg!?” Podcast should be a thing!!

[@tessstenson7536]

To be fair to Ellen, that red laser dot was... very... distracting... so... hypnotic... so... elusive... DAMN IT, COME HERE RED DOT!

[@jennifervalentine8955]

Have to love Andy... erm Mike's style of continuing on the opposite side of the letter with his evil laugh. Solid.

[@simonbastin8165]

"I played Days Gone for Easter" "Seems cheerful..." I dunno...I feel like celebrating Jesus coming back from the dead with a Zombie video game is quite in the theme, no?

[@darkmessiah-minecraft9272]

you think they give a fuck about religionous shit i am legally still part of christianity but only cuz if i wanna get married in church or be a godfather

[@canon3723]

Well Luke, I am delighted to inform you that General Greivous actually does fight through a horde of Zombies in the canon "The Clone Wars" episode titled "Massacre"..! Vrrmm-Vrrmm-Vrrmm.... Cough.

[@polkarrty]

Are the oxbox and oxtra universes seperate? Its the only explanation for mike being dead in the OXBEU and stealing eggs in the OXTEU

[@nicholascross3557]

As I gather, Death just refuses to have anything to do with Mike after what heppened last time...

[@jackyiv]

I think Mike died 3 or 4 times already, they just replace him with another copy...

[@Sableagle]

They exist in the same universe, but not at the same time.

[@sztybe]

This one is a prequel, there's more to the murder of mike's story.

[@scorpix96]

Oh, Mike's just immortal (or a cat, we'll be sure if they kill him more then nine times)

[@faetall1464]

Anyone else think Firefly/Serenity when Luke explained his bike?

[@Sp4rkler3rickson]

Omg, yes! The Reaver camouflage!

[@slewone4905]

Sir, do you really mean to turn our home into an abomination so we can make a suicidal attempt at passing through Reaver space?

[@Icam_here]

I don't know if zombies respond to being spoken too all passive aggressive like Luke but points for effort... points will also not help with zombies

[@laura121684]

Bullet points and hollow points do!

[@92Chembo]

"Keep them talking, get out the window, hide in a little box" words to live by!

[@williamclancy3956]

Watching Luke clamber over the sofa gave me a newfound sense of respect for OXTRA and Luke. I love you guys.

[@maxvel0city906]

I have a request. Fan art of Ellen "Hell's Angels" St Rose drifting a bike through a horde of freakers. Pretty please.

[@Sableagle]

I'd suggest a Honda VFR800 with the high-level twin exhausts, because it looks like something out of Babylon 5, with trail bars at foot, ankle and knee height and vertical bars on their outsides to protect your legs and your engine from branches, rocks, drop-and-slide events and so on, full luggage because you'll need to take stuff with you, rear trail bars to protect the back of the bike and a pillion passenger's legs so she can pick Ellie up along the way, hand protection on the grips, a thermal-imaging camera for running at night without lights ... and angled blades on those front trail bars to slice zombies' legs off at the knee as she passes.

[@maxvel0city906]

@@Sableagle YES, great suggestion, although it is a bit disconcerting that you seem to have put so much thought into the perfect zombie apocalypse bike. Do you know something we don't?

[@chilkss]

Love how Ellen’s first reaction was “who do I murder”

[@jennifervalentine8955]

I kind of have the image of Ellen trying to murder people like Lord Helmet trying to kill Lonestar in Spaceballs. I kind of feel I could keep her at literal arm's length and not worry.

[@chilkss]

Jennifer Valentine so she IS a cat

[@bw2707]

Luke: I'm not very brave Also Luke: *does a live show in front of a huge audience* Me: I don't think Luke understand what bravery looks like

[@mattd3224]

I didn’t even read the title. I saw SotW and the color purple and I clicked.

[@noddler217]

He'd be the John from Anna and the Apocalypse. The lovable best friend who dies pretty soon but gets his friends out before he finally turns. And wears a silly jumper.

[@onegemini]

Luke: "Come early for the best seats!" Indeed - the first three rows may get covered in orphan.

[@polkarrty]

Dapper Horus of course he’s fine! How else could he have stolen the chocolate eggs?

[@akmal94ibrahim]

@@ashfreywar9862 He must be hiding from the cops because he is the thief.

[@slewone4905]

Yeah, it's not like Jane to steal chocolate and frame other people.

[@TediousUnicorn]

Normal Ol' Luke: I'm not very brave and hate being in a tiny metal tube. 'Mad Mutt' Westaway: I'm going to place myself in a tiny steel cocoon covered in active zombies.

[@Monkeyzforever]

I'm so glad I got to go see the great Dob Orphan incident of 2019 live, it was a blast - I'm also really glad Dob didn't decide to get rid of the witnesses ;)

[@InfelixSoror]

"Don't imagine that!" easy for you to say, Luke, but I'm now incapable of imagining literally anything else

[@tomgymer7719]

Luke's main transferable skill is his height! He could be a lookout, or reach supplies other survivors couldn't!

[@GGemin0-TTRPG]

Seeing my name was something i never expected, to the point that i literally dropped my phone out of my hands in sheer disbelief 😂

[@Eriamgh]

I finally finished the Lists and Show of the Weekend playlists. I'm a bit sad to be finished, but looking forward to more! We all need more Luke and Ellen in our lives!

[@jennifertitus785]

In the world of dramatic chair sitting, we had the Riker Maneuver. Now, we have the Westaway Method - specifically for couches!

[@JKM395]

I am constantly amazed by the quantity and quality of the fan art for this channel, not to mention the speed with which they put it out. In 99% of all cases, I would frame it and put it on my wall and these cats are are turning it out 15 minutes after the video posts. Keep up the fantastic work, you artsy people, you!

[@misterblakk3690]

"Luke, please design your dream zombie fighting bike." God I hope its General Grievous with wheels.

18:27 I see... Ellen in a crowd is like John snow in battle; gasping and struggling for air.

[@shannonbennetts]

Wish I could like this twice, the laser light cat gag and Luke-in-a-box both got me so good 😆

[@randalthor741]

After Luke's explanation of his main transferable skill in a zombie apocalypse, I now fully understand why he plays a Bard in D&D... I always thought it was about the music, but no, Dob is him translating his real life filibustering ways into battle tactics! It makes so much sense!

[@zarbixii]

I'd love to see Yoda in a zombie apocalypse. "Mmmm! My legs, the zombies have bitten off. Horrible pain, I am in. Man, the real monster is."

[@Edgelite306]

I like how Luke always finds a way to open a door number 3, just think outside the box.

[@nikkubler]

I was ready to type “wrong, Grievous is the right answer,” but once again Luke has nailed the answer perfectly. Though, he didn’t mention the fact that as a cyborg Grievous wouldn’t have to worry about zombie bites. Truly, he is a bold one.

[@logansrevenge1214]

The blame you Luke for the image of Greavus in light saber nipple tassels killing zombies. 😦😝

Omg, what a brilliant episode. This is definitely going down as one of my favorites. You can definitely see all the joy brought and put into this one. Both the scripted and unscripted bits come off so hilariously well. Thanks for all you do, and spreading the happiness yu encounter and make around the world. :)

[@jessiefarrell6531]

I think what Luke is trying to say he would bring to a zombie apocalypse is optimism.

[@noddler217]

'How bad can it have gone, really?' OK, who wants in on the sweeps for how many bits of fanart involve the Orphanage made of Orphans?

[@krimzonknight]

Sam Witwer was also the voice of Darth Maul in Star Wars the Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, AND in Solo (where as the actual body of Maul in that movie was the actor from Episode 1)

[@Charmknight015]

I was so sure Luke was going to go with Tricera-bike with attack horns and defensive frills lol :]

[@MerlinsKat]

I too am like Ellen, a cat wearing a humans body trying its hardest to become a believable human

[@nicholascross3557]

That's more believable than several cats in a long coat, since that would require the cats to co-operate and, well, they're cats...

[@nyperold7530]

I don't know whether or not it's been covered, but I do like that touch with the burning billboard, how it says "YOU WON'T SURVIVE HUNTING SEASON WITHOUT US!", but then it burns away, presumably soon completely up, but the last you see of it before the camera pans away, is it saying "YOU WON'T SURVIVE". Ominous. Oh, maybe instead of the whole "disguise dead zombie as KZbinr" gambit, you could set up a system that you could activate to release a zombie so the "live" ones will go after it as the easier prey, instead of you.

[@beholdnonsense5100]

For the record, I'm pretty sure the orphans were not Luke's fault And no, you can't change my mind, Dob being sad broke my heart

[@pbkoenigsegg]

Surely the shouting is to be heard clearly. Over the noise of the MOTORBIKE he's sitting on top of?

[@outsidextra]

Yeah, that's clearly the intention, but he still shouts it even when you stop the motorbike's engine, or even when you rev the engine as little as possible to be quiet & avoid attracting zombies. No point. Deacon just starts shouting, haha. - E

[@pbkoenigsegg]

@@outsidextra That's actually hilarious. Bethesda would call it a feature ;)

[@Ammdar]

Yeah I assumed that was the idea... but realistically they should have used shouting as little as possible. Regardless of how loud the motorbike would be IRL, it's not in game, so his shouting just ends up sounding weird.

[@jennifervalentine8955]

Having been around several choppers while in use, I don't even think he could have been able to talk on a radio/cellphone over that. It's extra weird that it's not proportionate either. He's WAY louder than the bike.

[@P3x310]

Oh yes, I visited London some years ago and one of the scariest moments was me getting stuck at the outermost layer of people in the tube, right at the door. I am almost 2 metres tall and when the door started closing, it brought with it a sudden fear of decapitation... Also that Luke's bike surrounded by a group of zombies slowly joining him on a spontaneous horde migration made me think that the best solution to a zombie apocalypse would actually be a really slow Pied Piper of Hamelin who gradually rounds up all the zombies and drives them into some sort of death trap.

The Days Gone audio drop thing happened to me a couple of times and one of those times was my first run in with a horse. A silent horde that I didn't hear at all and just came up behind me like a horrible mute wave of bitey terror. My flailing escape was decidedly uncool. But since the latest patch I haven't had that issue again. EDIT: Btw, I am obsessed with this game now and really love it.

[@thajocoth]

At conventions, why doesn't Ellen just climb onto Luke's back so she could see something more than people's backpacks?

[@kellenwoods4633]

In post apocalypse games there are usually 2 or 3 types of monsters, the actual monsters/zombies, the factions of humans left that are usually terrible people, and sometimes your character himself/herself, because by the end of the game you’re thinking about what you have done as that character and wondering if you have made the character a monster yourself or if the situation or story made your character a monster

[@guyjackson1839]

You have played a lot of post-apocalyptic games haven’t you, that is a very well detailed comment from years of experience.
